Status
A National Report outlining the implementation of the
European Recommendation concerning integrated management
of coastal zones in Belgium was submitted to the European
Commission on 22 March 2006.
Although the direct reason for the creation of this
report was to comply with the request of the European
Commission to report on implementation of the Recommendation,
it is also intended to be a source of inspiration for
the government to optimise its integrated policy for
the coast. Furthermore, it is a useful document for
all actors involved who wish to acquire better insight
into the efforts made so far on the coast and current
lines of thinking for the future.
Reporting Institution
SPF Santé publique, Sécurité de
la Chaîne alimentaire et Environnement
Directorate General for Environment
